Ingredients
- 3 medium apples (Granny Smith or Fuji are great options)
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (milk or dark)

- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as pecans or walnuts)
- Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
- Mini marshmallows (optional)
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prep the Apples:
- Wash and core the apples. Slice them into thin rounds or wedges, ensuring the slices are about 1/4 inch thick. Arrange the apple slices on a large plate or platter.
- Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring between each session until smooth and melted. Alternatively, use a double boiler.
- Assemble the Nachos:
- Drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the apple slices. Then, drizzle the melted chocolate on top as well.
- Top the Nachos:
- Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers or toffee bits, chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, and any other desired toppings over the apple slices.
- Optional Peanut Butter Drizzle:
- If using, warm the peanut butter slightly in the microwave and drizzle it over the nachos for an extra layer of sweetness.
- Serve:
- Top with whipped cream, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your fun and delicious caramel apple nachos!
